Features Of Wear Resistant Tube TUZ Series
How to measure the minimum bending radius
Bend the tube into a U shape at a temperature of 20°C. Fix one end and close the loop gradually. Measure 2R when the tube breaks or is crushed.

- 1. The value of the minimum bending radius is measured at a temperature of 20°C as shown above. The minimum bending radius assumes static piping. If the tube is used in a moving part, provide extra length to the tube. Check the bending radius recommended by the flexible protection tube manufacturer if the tube is used in a flexible protection tube.
- 2. Applicable to general industrial water. Please consult with SMC if using other kinds of fluid. Surge pressure must be under the maximum operating pressure. If the surge pressure exceeds the maximum operating pressure, it will result in damage to fittings and tubes.
- 3. Abnormal temperature rise caused by adiabatic compression may result in the tube bursting.

- As this test was an acceleration test, the tube bending radius was out of the flexible protection tube manufacturer's allowable range.
- When the flexible protection tube is used in the actual application, check the manufacturer's catalog specifications.
- The values in the table above are representative values, and are not guaranteed.
